Look at his post again. I think what he's trying to say is that the conference his son's school is in covers that area. HSBBW however does not include Arkansas anywhere while most of the other states do have either their own little section or the region that the state is in has a section. Arkansas appears to not be represented.

BNA,

Thank you for pointing that out, and sorry for the oversight!

We certainly can add Arkansas to one of the forums. Would the Southeast forum (Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana) be the logical fit, or somewhere else?

Only my opinion, but I think Arkansas fits into the Southeast forum most appropriately.

The Southeast Forum now officially includes Arkansas!

Julie

Whoooooo Hoo!

Thank you very much.

So, who are the Arkansas folks out there???

My son played in 7A in Arkansas and now plays college ball in Arkansas. Who else is out there??

From Russellville, AR. My son, Lawson Hipps, is a senior, catcher, for Arkansas State. Hit a Homer where are you from? Do you by any chance post on Xtrainnings?

HitAHomer1 - My son plays with AR-STATE MOM's son at Arkansas State - Todd Baumgartner who is a sophomore and played left field last year. New coach this year though - so who knows!!!

With Arkansas now represented their people are coming out of the woodwork.

My son is a 2009 RHP that wants to play with Arkansas State. He is going to the pitcher showcase Nov. 1st.

I drove through the top edge of Arkansas one time...

The scariest thing of all is that nobody noticed until now!

I refuse the opportunity to make any literacy jokes. I love Arkansas.

sunshinesmom - hope your son likes the camp! I can tell you that the baseball team, college, church and Jonesboro have been a great fit for my son. As a parent, I am very comfortable with him there. If you have any questions from a parent perspective, send me a pm.

Simple question ... and not kidding ...

Is the state name pronunced are-can-saw OR are-CAN-sas (with the last s pronouncedand the middle syllable accented)? I only ask because I knew an older lady when I was a kid (around 12 years old) who always pronounced it are-CAN-sas and I thought she told me that she was from Arkansas ... I remember always having to 'translate' in my own mind that she was speaking about are-can-saw LOL

First timer-
I sent you a PM
thanks so much

It's pronounced are-can-saw

FBM-I was in Wichita last month and the Arkansas River flows through the city right next to the minor league ballpark- the residents pronounced it the Ark-Kansas River. Once the river flows into Oklahoma and Arkansas the pronounciation is the same as the state.

I coach at a school 10 miles from the AR line. We play quite a bit of AR teams.

Moc1- In Kansas they do pronounce their city AR-Kansas or Ark-Kansas. Go figure. But here we are just "Arkansaw"

Well now...I guess I should have said something sooner...Oklahoma has no place on the boards either.
I did notice last year when my son packed up and moved there to play baseball but I knew I wouldn't be driving the boards so didn't mention it.

So, welcome folks from Arkansas and hey ya'll to anyone who shares an interest in Oklahoma with me!!!
